Hi all! *laughs sheepishly* been awhile hasn't it? Erm- *looks at crappy chapter* I'm sorry for the wait, and that this chapter isn't as good as it could've been but, you know, school and real life got in the way.
AGAIN.
And, I've been slowly, yet steadily working my way through the Terry Pratchet books, and so, yeah…
Anyways, enough of my babble, let's get on with the story before Death comes!
Death: You called?
Me: *GULP!*
"Have you heard the news? Mr Sopers looking after this girl! That's why no-one's allowed near his office!"
Was Trixie raised her head, surprised. Van was eagerly spreading the latest gossip, normally she didn't listen, but this time…this time it seemed likely.
Strange…should she consult the others?
"Newton to invisible network, over"
"Vin here"
"Trixie"
"What is it Newton?"
"Have you heard the rumours?"
"Which ones?"
"The one about the so-called new girl"
"Yep"
"Yes"
"I think they might actually be true!"
"Why?"
"What makes you say that?"
"I saw a shadow in Mr Sopers office, and it looked like a girl about our age, it was too small for Mr Soper"
"Strange…we should investigate. However, has anyone got any suggestions for our fourth member?"
"No"
"Sorry Trixie, there's no-one who will be a good member except for Bert…"
"I am NOT working with Bert!"
"Vin, why do you annoy him like that anyway?"
"I have my reasons"
"If you say so Vin"
"Anyway, we need to go to class now"
"But the bell hasn't rung yet!"
!
"It has now"
"Newton, times like this I hate you"
Mr Soper
Mr Soper was worried.
He girl he had rescued had been stuck in a coma for the past three years, no matter what he did…and he couldn't show her to anyone, or even take her to the hospital!
Because, according to their scans, she was dead…but she was breathing and everything…it was unnatural!
He gave a sigh, and went to his office where she was hooked up to several machines that his friend had made, the Doctor-tron 3000 hadn't exploded, and had actually worked…
Rubbing his eyes, he went to check on the girl…but she wasn't there…
Wait, she wasn't there?
"Hello? Are you here? Child?"
Mr Soper looked around…and heard a clattering sound from behind him.
Whipping around he saw that the girl had been hiding on the support beams…and was now in a martial arts pose…
"Its ok, I'm not going to hurt you"
"Ohw rae oyu dna eerwh ma I?"
"Sorry? I don't understand"
She just tilted her head and looked at him like he was crazy.
"Ohw rae oyu dna eerwh ma I?" she repeated, confused
"I'm sorry, I don't understand"
"Who…are you? Where…am I?"
She clearly wasn't sure of what she was saying…
"I am Cosmo Soper, and this is my office"
"Why am I here?"
"You fell off the roof and have been in a coma for the past three years"
"What?"
"I know a lot to take in…who are you?"
"I am…I am…"
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I understand that you're scared"
"I'm not scared! I'm not a big wet chicken! I am Zerothonino Sto-Helit"
"Zero?"
"Hey, how do you know my nickname?"
"I don't…it's just its easier to call you Zero than Zerothonino…."
"I suppose…"
"Well, I'm sure your family will be missing you…I should send you home…"
"NO! please, don't!"
"Why?"
"They…I don't like them…I hate them…and my brother"
"I'm sorry, but I have to send you back"
"Please, don't! please!"
Cosmo looked at her sceptically. She was pleading with him, right down to the puppy eyes…
Well, according to scans she is dead so…she looked dead…he didn't really believe in ghosts but if she was technically dead…well then, he should let her stay…maybe educate her…
"Ok. But one rule"
"Yes?"
"No violence at Pinkerton"
"Agreed. And what's a Pinkerton?"
"Pinkerton is this experimental school you're at now. If you want, you could stay here, it's a boarding school"
"Really?"
"Really"
"Ok then, thank you!"
"Ok, good, and the next class is going to start soon"
"Can I start now?"
"No harm I suppose"
Yeah, evil, cliff-hanger.
Mr Soper doesn't know what he signed himself up for…
Anyways, this chapter *no matter how crappy* is dedicated to all my huge two readers who have actually reviewed! *scowls*
Whiskas-next chapter is based on the conversations we have had, and I is glad I make you jelly with my writing skills! Thank you! =^..^=
